I wonder how dumb these people at the other end of the phone are ... if they cannot atleast give some real response or atleast do some check and see whats actually happening with the application, then why even bother have these useless people answer the phones.

Rather than having these people on phone its best they have an online checking system where we can straightaway check the real status of our application.

I just said they are taking the priority infact giving the priority (otherwise that would have been grammatically incorrect)to january application rather then sorting oct n nov application...lolz...
